Adoptive homes needed for dogs

The Salinas Animal Shelter is full and needs the community's help. If you are looking to adopt a dog or cat, now is a good time to come in and look for your new best friend. All the kennels are full and AFRP's next out-of-state dog transport is not able to take place until next week. AFRP is also seeking donations to help continue their transport program which has run out of granting funds.

The Loads of Love Dog Transport Program moved more than 1,300 dogs from Salinas Animal Services and Monterey County Animal Services to other rescues with space this past year, making room for incoming strays and greatly reducing euthanasia of adoptable dogs.

To adopt a dog from Salinas Animal Services, visit 144 Hitchcock Road or call 831-758-7285. To make a donation to help the AFRP Transport Program visit www.animalfriendsrescueproject.org (be sure to type in transport in the comments) or call 831-333-0722.
